Key Takeaways

1. Avoid the "big bang" approach – Healthcare cloud migration requires a phased, methodical strategy. Hybrid cloud lets you maintain existing DR/BC plans while modernizing incrementally.
2. Data assessment comes first – Before addressing compliance, security, or migration, you must understand your current state: where data lives, what integrations exist, and who's consuming it.
3. AI needs governance from day one – Responsible AI in healthcare requires clean data, continuous monitoring, transparency in decision-making, and a robust ethical framework policy.

Notable Quotes

"AI, to me today, has the discernment of a mouse. AI doesn't really discern today—it doesn't know if the data provided is truthful or accurate."

"Don't try to boil the ocean. Start with thorough assessments, prioritize compliance and security, and ensure you have executive buy-in before diving in."
